Software Engineering Co-op (Fall 2017)
TL;DR
One of Boston’s fastest-growing consumer tech startups with 9+ million members is looking for CS co-ops to help us scale our systems and launch new products that enable people to discover books they will love.
About BookBubMillions of readers use BookBub every day to find great books, and our service helps thousands of leading publishers and authors drive sales and find new fans.
Our Co-op ProgramWe hire one or two top computer science students each semester and have them join a small team where they deliver real products to our users. Each co-op is expected to take on big challenges and deliver complete, end-to-end solutions. We lean heavily on automation and continuous deployment to ensure we’re constantly getting rapid feedback from our users. Our approach is to start small, ship often and defer unnecessary complexity.
During Your Co-op, You Will:* Ship code to production 50-100 times via our continuous deployment pipeline * Pick up several new programming techniques and hear about several new technologies from our continuously learning team
* Build, launch and test several significant new book discovery features
* Write lots of integration and unit tests (no separate QA team here)
* Engage in many deep technical discussions with really friendly and talented engineers
* Learn our stack (if you don’t know it already): Rails, AWS, Postgres, Redshift, React.js, Redis, AWS Lambda, Ansible, Docker, etc
* Complete your co-op with the skills and experience to be a professional software engineer at a top-tier tech company
* Smart and intellectually curious computer science students who love to learn
* People who love to figure things out on their own and don’t want to be micromanaged
* Experience with a modern web stack (Rails/Node/Django, etc)
